THE U.S. CAPITOL Police and other law enforcement agencies are reporting a surge in online threats of violence in the run-up to a possible arrest of Donald Trump, according to three government intelligence bulletins obtained by Rolling Stone and interviews with senior officials.
U.S. Capitol Police, the D.C. Fusion Center, and the Federal Highway Administration have all circulated warnings about the uptick in online threats over the past 48 hours. The bulletins and threat assessments detail some of the online threats and discussions about the use of specific tactics and methods for carrying out attacks including online discussions about lethal attacks if Trump is arrested.
On Saturday, the former president posted on Truth Social what was widely interpreted as a call for his followers to protest any potential legal action against him; many saw it as an echo of his call to join him at a wild protest in D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021.
On Sunday, the U.S. Capitol Police and the D.C. Fusion Center the Washington, D.C.-area entity thats part of the Department of Homeland Securitys post-9/11 intelligence-sharing network shared their assessments of the situation with police and government agencies nationwide.

Marjorie 3 names and Bobo the Clown should be banned from Congress based on being insurrectionists. The FBI should be doing a much better job monitoring and prosecuting these violent thugs on the right.

Asymmetric warfare. It doesn't take a competent army to shoot up a power station. They're organized and well-funded, and they have strategists. Look at Jan 6. They disabled the ability to respond, then filled DC with camera-fodder clowns, while the Prouds and the Keepers led an organized attack.
They'll send pawns and losers to tie up LEO and NG while the serious actors cause damage somewhere. And always remember that they've infiltrated LEO, NG and the mil.

(54,365 posts)0.5% is not, and that can be a lot of firepower if strategically deployed. Hope that none of it comes to pass, and be well-prepared to meet and disable it, by any means necessary, if the occasion should arise. After January 6th, we can never again begin our discussion with surely they wouldnt, because yes, they would. It would be of small consolation to haul Carlsons ass in and put him away for ten years for incitement with fatal consequences. Better to not let them get to the point where they can cause fatal consequences.
